And that would be the key point. I *do* know. I operate them for a living, doing airline training in them. What operating system is used? Hence the $12 MM pricetag for a typical Level D simulator, and the nearly $1000/hour you'll pay to fly it. I feel certain that generous profit margins are built into these prices. Yes. Which is why a full-motion simulator is not available for $69 at CompUSA. Not yet, at least. The motion part will be expensive for a long time, because there is very little trend towards cost reduction in mechanical systems, but the computers are already there--there just isn't any readily available software to handle it. A standard PC is fast enough to handle it. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
